Abstract

The pollinating activity of bumblebee, Bombus ignitus was investigated at the blossom of Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] planted in vinyl house. The major time of foraging activity by B. ignitus was between 08:00 and 7:00, and the peak time of pollinating activity by B. ignitus was 11 :00 in the peach vinyl house from February 28 to March 5 in 2002. The rate of fruit set and the rate of marketable fruit by foraging activity of B. ignitus were much better than artificial pollination, and the effect of labor reduction by the pollinating activities of B. ignitus released against th ε artificial pollination was took remarkable profits over 93%. Therefore, the foraging activity of B. ignitus in peach vinyl house brought satisfactory results among the rate of fruit set, the rate of marketable fruit and the effect of labor reduction against the artificial pollination.

시설복숭아에서 호박별의 회분매개활동과 효과에 대하여 조사하였다. 2002년 2월 하순경 시설복숭아에서 호박벌의 방화활동은 오전 8시부터 오후 5시까지이며, 활동최성기는 오전 11시였다. 착과율은 호박벌방사구 73.4%, 인공수분구 73.1% 로서 차이가 없었으나, 무처리구는 33.9%로 매우 낮았다. 상품과 율은 호박벌방사구가 90.0% 로서 인공수분구 83.3% 보다 높았으며, 무처리구는 53.8% 로서 매우 낮았다. 호박벌 방사구가 인공수분구에 비해 착과율과 상품과율이 좋았으며, 노동력도 93% 절감되어 호박별 방사에 의한 효과가 뚜렷하였다.
